French striker Lacazette's contract talks with Lyon moving smoothly toward 3-year renewal deal.

Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is in the midst of negotiations to extend his contract at the club, and it seems that he will be staying on until 2021.

According to reports, Lacazette has been offered a new three-year contract by the French champions, which would keep him at the club until June 2021. The striker has already agreed terms on the first two years of the deal, but now it remains to be seen whether or not he will sign the final year.

The news comes as a relief for Lyon fans who have been hoping that their star player would stay at the club for the long term. Lacazette has been a key player for the club over the past few seasons, scoring 55 goals in 98 appearances for them.

However, the club's financial situation means that they may struggle to offer Lacazette the sort of salary he is demanding, which could make a move to another team more attractive. But if he signs the new contract, he will continue to play a crucial role in the club's ambitions next season and beyond.
